Server Version#: 1.25.4.5426 Player Version#: AppleTV 7.27 Hello I run Plex Media Server on by Linux Debian 10 based distro, specifically Deepin 20.4. The server runs and functions perfectly fine, but I experience a severe bottleneck with my CPU doing all the transcoding work. I have a GPU and I h…

I have an Asus RT-AX58U router that does all the DHCP networking. But I have a static IP in place for my PC/Server, so no reason for it to be changing IPs. And no, my ethernet cable is quite new and connected solid.

That is going to need a lot of research to find out how to have the Dell make it visible. PMS can see it but then it has trouble getting into it… which is the Dell BIOS / settings. Recommend checking the Dell forums for best settings.

As an alternative, depending on budget, you can look at working toward a small NUC7 machine. You can load it up and use it as a dedicated PMS box. Most of us use dedicated workstation/towers , NUC’s, or NAS boxes. Laptops are usually only used when learning about Plex and seeing if it’s…

Thank you for your time and efforts thus far. Hahaha, the alternative I can afford only now is to keep using “direct play/stream” :smiling_face_with_tear:
